WEBVTT 00:00.720 --> 00:05.540 I want to move over to China here because currently we have UK Prime Minister Kier 00:05.540 --> 00:06.100 Starmer. 00:06.240 --> 00:10.520 He's visiting with the leadership in China right now as we speak. 00:10.700 --> 00:12.400 You can see some of the images there. 00:12.540 --> 00:17.360 He went over to make a visit and it's very appropriate because over the last couple 00:17.360 --> 00:21.900 years under Kier Starmer's leadership, the UK has made headlines like this. 00:22.300 --> 00:24.400 How Britain became a surveillance state. 00:24.600 --> 00:25.240 Here's another one. 00:25.240 --> 00:30.680 UK under spy and the sky surveillance has hundreds of drones deployed across the nation and here's 00:30.680 --> 00:35.140 the latest minority report policing to catch criminals before they strike. 00:35.300 --> 00:40.480 It says in this article the government is investing in four million pounds in creating 00:40.480 --> 00:44.400 an interactive AI driven map of England and Wales by 2030 that aims to stop criminals 00:44.400 --> 00:46.020 before they strike. 00:46.200 --> 00:49.860 The project will use official data to identify areas that are likely to see criminal 00:49.860 --> 00:54.480 activity such as knife offenses or spot early warnings of ready for this anti-social 00:54.480 --> 00:58.000 behavior, whatever that means, so that police can intervene before it escalates. 00:58.400 --> 01:02.920 They spoke to British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in this article and she said this, 01:03.300 --> 01:07.740 when I was in justice, my ultimate vision for that part of the criminal justice system 01:07.740 --> 01:12.840 was to achieve by means of AI and technology what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his 01:12.840 --> 01:13.540 panoptagon. 01:13.960 --> 01:18.200 That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times. 01:18.940 --> 01:20.180 This is a chilling statement. 01:20.660 --> 01:22.700 Jeremy Bentham was a British philosopher. 01:23.200 --> 01:25.480 We have Jeremy Bentham. 01:25.600 --> 01:26.460 He's a British philosopher. 01:26.960 --> 01:31.320 Late 18th century, he innovates this idea, comes up with the idea of a prison design 01:31.320 --> 01:36.900 and it's basically where a single guard in a central tower can observe all the inmates 01:36.900 --> 01:38.660 in the surrounding rings of the cells. 01:38.800 --> 01:40.160 It creates a feeling of constant surveillance. 01:40.820 --> 01:42.500 It acts as an all seeing eye. 01:42.820 --> 01:46.140 Bentham also envisioned this to apply for other institutions like schools, 01:46.280 --> 01:48.480 factories and hospitals to give you an idea where his mindset was. 01:48.480 --> 01:53.360 But what this does is this constant surveillance encourages basically self-discipline. 01:53.420 --> 01:57.620 It encourages fear in people because they never know when they're being watched. 01:57.860 --> 01:59.700 So they try to self-check themselves. 02:00.080 --> 02:01.620 Assumption is you're always being watched. 02:01.720 --> 02:05.780 And at any point you're being watched, therefore I must always consider myself being watched. 02:06.620 --> 02:07.060 Right. 02:07.340 --> 02:10.260 And so this is what the UK police, this is their gold standard. 02:10.400 --> 02:12.720 This is what they want to achieve, all seeing eye policing. 02:13.000 --> 02:16.740 And so their new white paper just came out and talking about a new model for policing. 02:16.840 --> 02:17.460 And it says this, 02:17.460 --> 02:22.560 we'll be investing in facial recognition capabilities and the responsible adoption of these. 02:22.800 --> 02:22.960 Okay. 02:23.300 --> 02:27.740 This will include over 26 million pounds of development delivery of a national facial 02:27.740 --> 02:32.980 recognition system at 11.6 million pounds on live facial recognition capabilities and 02:32.980 --> 02:35.300 national coordination of these, just like China. 02:35.500 --> 02:36.500 And here's the cool part. 02:36.940 --> 02:42.500 40 new live facial recognition vans will be driving around will be available to support 02:42.500 --> 02:45.940 the police and town centers and high crime hot spots across the country. 02:46.440 --> 02:48.120 So that's the UK. 02:49.140 --> 02:53.340 They're rapidly evolving clearly into a surveillance state here. 02:54.080 --> 02:57.840 And we're talking, when we talk about AI, clearly this is going into the policing. 02:58.380 --> 03:02.960 We're talking about AI is taking a lot of our jobs and it's only moving faster at this point 03:02.960 --> 03:07.940 being installing government to what ends, we'll see pretty soon, I think, but this rapidly 03:07.940 --> 03:13.360 moving throughout society and people are left to wonder what is left for the human 03:13.360 --> 03:18.640 experience. And when I look at this headline here and this, this caption, this image from 03:18.640 --> 03:24.220 Canadians, Canada's made, that's the medically assisted suicide the government has put forward. 03:24.640 --> 03:29.140 And they have a statistic here about people that go through this pathway to end their 03:29.140 --> 03:30.740 lives from government sponsorship. 03:30.940 --> 03:36.460 And it says, the reasons they do it 86.3% do it because they cannot engage in 03:36.460 --> 03:37.300 meaningful activities. 03:37.880 --> 03:42.200 Meaningful life, meaningful activities is a key to the human experience. 03:42.200 --> 03:47.240 And AI is probably going to take some of that away. 03:47.480 --> 03:49.080 In fact, don't listen to me. 03:49.400 --> 03:51.680 Here's Elon Musk just last week at Davos. 03:51.720 --> 03:52.620 Listen to what he had to say. 03:53.300 --> 03:57.520 Actually, my prediction is in the benign scenario of the future 03:57.520 --> 04:02.220 that we will, the robots, we will actually make so many robots in AI that they will 04:02.220 --> 04:04.680 actually saturate all human needs. 04:05.000 --> 04:10.960 Meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain 04:10.960 --> 04:15.420 point. Like there will be such an abundance of goods and services. 04:17.460 --> 04:21.500 Because my prediction is that there will be more robots than people. 04:22.220 --> 04:26.300 But how do you then have human purpose in that scenario? 04:26.560 --> 04:30.020 Yeah, I mean, you know, there was nothing, nothing's perfect. 04:30.300 --> 04:35.120 You know, it's really shocking. 04:35.360 --> 04:36.480 He's such a smart guy. 04:36.800 --> 04:38.720 You always get the sense he's thought of everything. 04:39.220 --> 04:42.440 And in all of his discussions, in all of his building of robots, 04:42.580 --> 04:44.760 he hasn't figured out an answer to that question. 04:44.880 --> 04:46.600 Well, nothing's perfect. 04:46.960 --> 04:49.880 Like robbing us of the human experience completely. 04:51.100 --> 04:53.640 It just, it's sort of like what we see in pharma, right? 04:53.700 --> 04:54.360 It's like a polio. 04:54.440 --> 04:56.460 Let's just go ahead and start giving this thing to everybody. 04:56.840 --> 04:57.560 And let's see what happens. 04:57.740 --> 04:59.960 Sure, there could be some side effects out there like, you know, 05:00.400 --> 05:01.760 people just wanting to kill themselves, 05:01.780 --> 05:03.940 but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. 05:06.280 --> 05:10.700 It's really why the world is as difficult a place as it is right now 05:10.700 --> 05:13.880 as too many people not thinking things through or in charge.
